"We apply a fresh and individualized approach to each client and aim to provide the utmost care, respect and attention to detail necessary to bring you a successful design outcome. We love to infuse inspiration into our projects, and believe that even within a classic neutral palette, you can add striking shape, form, color and art to keep it fresh…and even celebrate your cultural or creative uniqueness." -BCD

Apartment Therapy Survey:

My Style: My style has developed into what I call “Modern Global Collected.” I love clean lines as the basis of my design, then usually lean towards an overall neutral color palette that is infused with layers of texture and tribal or global art pieces. And then I like to choose a deliberate punch of color for accent.

Inspiration: The inspiration for my studio was the idea of an urban, artistic space — I wanted a warm, modern, fresh space that wouldn’t compete with my different projects.

Favorite Element: I uncovered the original wall of brick that had been painted over by previous tenants — it is so imperfect and orange-red, and makes me smile.

Biggest Challenge: The low ceilings!!! I wish the building had high, lofty ceilings. I love the lightness you experience when a space has overhead volume. But I’ve made the most of it, and embrace the coziness.

What Friends Say: They usually say it feels warm and creative, and we’ve shared some fun gatherings. I enjoy hosting community events: I’ve hosted fundraisers, art shows, group meetings, a yoga class, tag sales, and small parties — a couple of jazz trios have played in my space. This studio loves visitors.

Area Where There Is Room For Improvement: I am always playing with space arrangements. I really like the current configuration, but every couple months I need to change it around to stay fresh to myself — so there’s a great chance it’ll look different again in March.

Proudest DIY: Good question.

Biggest Indulgence: The bamboo hardwood floors, so worth it!

Best Advice: Ha — this is a trick question for me — organizing is an ongoing process, and it evolves with the way you use a space, so keep up with it.

Dream Sources: I have so many great vendors. But I also love something at each and every mom & pop thrift store in America. It takes major patience and a time commitment, but refurbishing and repurposing found items is exciting.
